“a decreasing trend”

Comparison of LVEF among the three groups showed statistically significant differences, and with increasing Gensini score, LVEF showed a decreasing trend ( P <0.001) ( Table 5 ).

The niche width for both bacterial and fungal communities exhibited a decreasing trend from the cultivation medium to the endosphere of D. huoshanense ( p < 0.001, Figures 2C, D ). 3.2.

We observed a decreasing trend in both procedures during the study period ( P < 0.001).

Likewise, we observed a decreasing trend in both sexes (male and female, APC = −7.6% and −5.1%, respectively; p -value < 0.001).

Among hospitalised patients, ICU-admissions were also different by season throughout the study period and showed a decreasing trend (p < 0.001).

Total dissolved solids and absorbance measurements exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing concentration (effect size = 0.87, p < 0.001 ), supporting an inhibitory effect under the tested conditions.

Additionally, there was a decreasing trend in female proportion as early WBS neck counts increased ( p < 0.001).

It was persistent with earlier variants (OR 1.00 per month, p = 0.903), while a decreasing trend was observed for Omicron (OR 0.89 per month, p < 0.001).

Figure 2 shows that there is a decreasing trend in the proportion of stroke survivors discharged to care homes over time ( P <0.001).

The age group from 40 to 49 years, in turn, showed a decreasing trend, with a reduction of 1.292 in the incidence rate per year (p = 0.001).

Data provided by the statistical authority with regards to deaths from the total of respiratory diseases (ICD9 range: 460–519) for the 21-year period 1989–2009, revealed the existence of a decreasing trend ( p -value < 0.001) ( Table 2 ).
